You've probably heard of the Japanese-started Pecha Kucha by now. But just in case you haven't, I'll fill you in. A kind of artsy shindig for folks to show and tell -- 20 slides for 20 seconds on a big screen -- it's bound to get your creative juices flowing. See for yourself during Pecha Kucha Vol. 6 at Dharma Lounge on July 16. For more information, visit www.point8.org/pechakucha. $5. 7:30 p.m.-10 p.m. Dharma Lounge, 1440 S. Tryon St., Suite 105. 704-334-8336. www.dharmacharlotte.com.
